    Over There.
    For those who are not at the nation on anymore
    ----------------------------




    As most of you know already Muck and Celtkin and staff have walked. Muck and Celtkin were 2 of the 3 who gave everything to make sure this site stayed up. The 3rd was me.

    -I remember many nights staying up till 2 am with these guys getting sh!t back up because we wanted to make sure the members did not suffer.

    - I remember Muck pulling his hair out when we had 1 day of data loss because it meant that someone's important post was no long in existence. We were promised new servers way before the draft last season, we still don't have them.

    - I remember the hard work Celtkin did to find out the IPs and Info of who brought down FH for the Mega Crash just to see nothing done. I remember many issues like this.

    - I also Remember how much Muck and Celtkin worked to keep the Ads FOOTBALL related only. Even back when AJ was here.. it was just Football and Gambling related ads. Then all of the Sudden the Mega Companies that put the worlds most annoying ads started to appear. Verizon, Nissan, MediFast, ETC. All that We as Admins had no control over. We would complain, but nothing was done.

    I also saw before the Staff walked out, What alway was a chemistry when selecting new staff, ignored. Instead of going to the Staff and asking what members thy think would fit in, who are not trouble makers or one sided. The Staff who has more experience with ANYONE on this board. No that was ignored and ownership put out a public invitation.

    I also saw a Retired Admin try and come to the sites rescue in its time of need only to be ignored and shunned to the side. An Admin who was a HUGE part of this sites development in the early days who i saw as a mentor for a long time, and helped me become an admin here.

    Its true there are 2 Sides to every story, and I am not here to give any side of it. Matt is a great Person when you meet him, great personality and fun person to hang out with. However, it has come time for me to walk away from what I helped develop and grow. 5 years of my life pretty much done.

    Matt claims to have paid all the bills but admits to only paying a down payment on the servers. What he didn't tell you that he hasn't paid a dime in hosting cost since the site went back up. That responsibility has fallen on Muck and his company.

    This Era of Finheaven is done.

    I've always known you guys were the ones that made FinHeaven what it was.
    But alas like everything else from my youth the developers came in,chop down all the trees,laid asphalt and I no longer reconize the place.

    I really beleive the core of FinHeaven is here now and great things are ahead.

    Now if I can only get the head on my Ted Knight avatar to bob.

    I actually liked it over here better. When FH was down, I stumbled over here and found some cool people. I think I'll stay. Thanks to everyone who made this possible!!

    Thank you Warp, I do not post a lot, but I was at FH all the time gettin my Dolphins fix.
    When I saw good people like Celtkin, Muck, John moving out was not a second guessing on my part. I do have to much respect for them.
    Glad to see you here.....I like my new home better.

    Glad your here Mindwarp. You guys did a great job over there and will do just as well here if not much better. I already see a lot of my favorite posters showing up and I am sure there will be many more.
    This already seems like more of a family here and except for certain people it never seemed like a family over there.
    Like another poster said, when FH crashed and Celtkin hosted us it was so relaxed and pleasant, no hostility at all. I will never forget how kind Celtkin was to help that way and hopefully no one else who were here will forget either.
    Thanks Mindwarp.

    VERY COOL...The last post I saw you put up at the nation Mindwarp you sounded like you were still on the fence and I got a little worried there for a second.

    With you (Mindwarp) here and now Pagan...

    The only one I havent really seen here is ...THE MOR...

    Where are you MOR?

    Unless I missed it, we are missing the Mor still...the family isnt complete without him.

    Hey guys! I appreciate all you guys are doing and I think it's great you guys are doing what you feel is right/fair. ( I actually enjoyed being here before going back to FH; I thought it was calmer/happier/more welcoming :yes: )

    My name was ajscar15 over there (sprawling Gadsden avatar)...I was in VIP, but I'm not sure who to talk to about that..

    Dang Warfie, thanks. Sometimes, it's better to ask forgiveness than permission. :D I know, I know, I shouldn't express these sentiments to the law, but it seems all my friends are on the side of law and order these days.
